Ok, So I read Simon & Dags articles and got this really good feeling
that it was going to work this time...

But no such luck.

System: debian unstable, kernel 2.2.15pre5 + usb backport
Serial module not loaded, PCMCIA not loaded

Bios set to enable IrDA, 0x3e8, DMA 0, IRQ10

Findchip reports:

reg=0x000
Found NSC PC87338 Controller at 0x398, DevID=0x0b, Rev. 2
    SIR Base 0x3f8, FIR Base 0x3f8
             ^^^^^           ^^^^^
    IRQ = 10, DMA = 0
    Enabled: yes, Suspended: no
    UART compatible: yes
    Half duplex delay = 0 us

Thats the wrong base address. So I flipped the base address to 0x3f8
in the Bios, rebooted, and then findchip reported:

Found NSC PC87338 Controller at 0x398, DevID=0x0b, Rev. 2
    SIR Base 0x3f8, FIR Base 0x3f8
    IRQ = 5, DMA = 0
          ^
    Enabled: yes, Suspended: no
    UART compatible: yes
    Half duplex delay = 0 us

But it's set to 10 in the BIOS.

In all cases, attempting to 'modprobe nsc-ircc dongle_id=0x09' resulted in:

Feb  1 15:58:46 squeamish kernel: IrDA (tm) Protocols for Linux-2.2 (Dag Brattli)
Feb  1 15:58:56 squeamish kernel: nsc-ircc, Wrong chip version 0c

Any ideas anyone? If someone with a working N505X could mail me
details of all relevant bios settings and a complete .config that
would be great.
